摘要:

AbstractSouthern Florida is known for its abundant but seasonal rainfall, and its large quantities of ground water; however, parts of its principal aquifers contain water of inferior quality. Coastal aquifers that yield fresh water for municipal supplies, industry, and irrigation, are subject to sea‐water encroachment as water use increases. In inland locations, parts of these aquifers contain salty remnants from ancient inundating seas. The highly productive artesian Floridan aquifer contains saline water throughout southern Florida. The rapid development of south Florida will eventually require greater use of saline water resources.In the Naples area of southwestern Florida large quantities of moderately saline water in an inland area can be developed by shallow wells or can be drained westward to replenish the aquifer in the coastal area. Accelerated flushing caused by increased drainage and water use should gradually improve the quality of the water in the aquifer in the inland area.Irrigational and industrial use of water from the Floridan aquifer are increasing in areas where the mineralization is not critical. In the future it may be used to maintain water levels in parts of the Everglades National Park during periods of prolonged drought, to sustain the ecology, and to control fires. In coastal Miami it may prove feasible to inject artesian water into the shallow Biscayne aquifer to cut off the tongue of encroaching sea water. Development of artesian water poses the problem of possible contamination of shallow aquifers by leakage through corroded well casings or into uncased zone

摘要:

AbstractHydrology is the science underlying the development and control of water resources of the earth. In the past, hydrologists have been trained initially in civil engineering, geology, meteorology or related fields, and have acquired knowledge of the complex hydrologic interrelationships by experience. Nowhere has it been possible for a student to obtain a coherent and complete training centered on the subject of water. The water specialist must learn to appraise the physical features of the earth and the role of various natural laws and scientific principles as they bear upon the occurrence, movement, and work of water in the hydrologic cycle of the earth and its atmosphere.The hydrologist not only works with water, but with people and their social, economic, and political problems. These problems are closely linked with water resources; man's failure to achieve a realistic integration of those factors has made water problems the greatest challenge on earth today.At the University of Arizona the new program includes undergraduate and graduate curricula leading to degrees in hydrology. The curriculum includes basic courses in hydromechanics, mathematics, physics, chemistry, botany, geology, meteorology, and economics.The total impact of this new trend in hydrologic education will become evident in better solutions of water problems in many parts of the world.

摘要:

AbstractDetails concerning the drilling and successful completion of a deep waste disposal well at Newport, Indiana are described. The well is 6160 feet deep and penetrates about 900 feet into the Mt. Simon Sandstone which is the reservoir for disposal of inorganic waste. Under natural conditions, the Mt. Simon is saturated with essentially stagnant brine. The Eau Claire Formation overlying the Mt. Simon has a near zero permeability, thus, preventing upward migration of waste. To date, millions of gallons of waste effluent have been pumped into the well at an average injection rate of approximately 70 gallons per minute.

摘要:

AbstractWater‐level measurements made during the early seconds and minutes of aquifer tests may often be used to determine the hydraulic properties of an aquifer and to locate hydrogeologic boundaries. This paper describes a method, using a modified stylus carriage and pen and a stop watch, of recording microtime water‐level measurements in a well equipped with a recording gage. Ordinary and micro‐time records of water‐level fluctuations are simultaneously obtained. Microtime water‐level measurements often aid in appraising the effects of slow gravity drainage under water‐table conditions and anisotropic and heterogeneous

摘要:

AbstractThe Hydrogeologic Programme of the Geological Survey of Canada includes: 1) Research into the science of hydrogeology which requires water balance studies of selected “Type Basins.” 2) The production of Water Probability Maps to indicate the location of ground‐water resources. 3) Studies to improve various techniques for ground‐water development. Ground‐water investigations are also carried out by various Provincial orga

摘要:

AbstractCurrent water use is approximately 300 bgd. By 1980 it will be around 600 bgd. This apparent increase of 300 bgd may be met by recovery of used water or development of additional resources. In either case, the ground‐water aquifers will play an important role.Although ground water was the source of only 20 percent of the water used in 1960, it provided domestic water supplies to nearly 90,000,000 people. Where available, the use of ground water may be advantageous because the minimum in treatment is required, long pipe lines are unnecessary, its temperature and other characteristics are uniform and the supply is dependable.In order to develop and utilize both existing and potential ground‐water resources it is recommended that surveys be made to locate water‐bearing formations and to determine their dependable yield, that investigations leading to artificial recharge of aquifers be made, that the problems of utilization of flow through soils for treatment of water be studied, and that the various state agencies concerned with conservation and pollution of water be provided with both legislative authority and the personnel necessary to protect ground‐water s

摘要:

AbstractThe intent of this paper is to discuss the need for laws and regulations governing construction of wells for private water supplies. This will include: (1) why laws and regulations are necessary, (2) need for registration and licensing of drillers and pump installers, (3) how laws and regulations affect uniformity of construction and the desirability of such uniformity, (4) how they encourage the manufacture of new materials and group organization, (5) what a law and code should contain, (6) need of judgment in administering laws and the regulations adopted pursuant thereto, and (7) the difficulties in enforcing laws and regulations including budgetary reasons. The material presented is drawn from Wisconsin's 26 years of private water supply administration and in part from personal experience. Hence, all statements and conclusions made do not necessarily represent the thinking, views or practice of the author's employer.
